With Osama bin Laden news over the last almost twenty four hours, I am astonished. Just as the 911 one attacks left me in a stupor.

I can only join in and echo that which was sent from the Vatican email today.

"Osama Bin Laden, as is known, claimed responsibility for grave acts that spread division and hate among the peoples, manipulating religion to that end. A Christian never takes pleasure from the fact of a man's death, but sees it as an opportunity to reflect on each person's responsibility, before God and humanity, and to hope and commit oneself to seeing that no event become another occasion to disseminate hate but rather to foster peace".
